<p>So which school has a better rep of the Street? I would figure that Vandy has a better rep on the east coast, but at the same time Rice seems like it would hold its own with people who are in the know?</p>
<p>I know two kids that got into decent banks (Citti, Credit Suisse) from Rice. It has a very respected economics department (no business school).</p>
<p>But you havent hear anything about Vandy?</p>
<p>Go for preference between these two schools because they are really close placement wise. Rice might have slightly better recruitment because of the investment banks in Houston and Dallas, but other than that I would still choose vandy because it has much better social life, girls and frats which are very old and come in great for job connections once senior year comes along for some great jobs.</p>
<p>I'd suggest Rice.....Vanderbilt doesn't seem to be geared towards business in my opinion.</p>
<p>^^I agree. I think Rice is more respected on wall street than vandy.</p>
